Done the base for him cast it two part with plaster of paris glued it together and filled the crack with polyfiller and sanded. Carved out the metal flaging and added a bit of tubing for a pipe and some chopped up heat exchanger for grilling. My first go at making my own plaster of paris base and simply carving it quite pleased. This will be attached to a standard base but it will in turn slot into a hole on a squad diorama base. Shudder going to enter GD i think. Retch cant believe I said it.
Though GW has some questionable models of late, the standard of painting at GD is always really good and it's a great event to talk to other painters at and pick the brains of the eavy metal lot too. To my mind, they are still some of the best painters in the world and are capable of amazing work when they decide to.

Super work mate, I really like how you've done him. I can't help thinking that the blade is the weakest part, can you smooth it out some more? I know you said it was difficult though Either way he's striking
Either way he's striking

Top job always neat to see your progress, going to have to try out the plaster of paris for myself. For the sword have you thought about white lining the edges? may make it look sharper. here is a "same same but different" http://www.coolminiornot.com/273630?browseid=5995118

Maybe don't use pure white. Try a grey or tan/cream that is VERY close to white and then shade down from there. I used it on the dragon skull on the min below and went from a (GW colors) Pallid wych flesh down to whatever their new colour for graveyard earth is and then washed in the recesses with a brown, then a greenish brown then a black for the deepest recesses.

It was a very quick job on that mini 2-3 hrs in total, but I like the bone and will refine it more when I use it on a competition piece later. Is that close to what you were thinking? BTW, that gold is stunning!!!

You are damn good so why are you thinking of it as a white shoulder pad? You do not think a silver sword is silver and paint it silver do you? No you do that dang impressive nmm thing. So treat the sholder pad as a "white metal" nmm. (probably not very helpful
, but take a look at this reference).View attachment 21473
I would think of it as a white shoulder pad, you can do better
